Happy Cupcake Award Thingy
I don’t know if that’s really the name. I’m all sleep deprive. But I was nominated for this award by the very lovely Lynne and the equally lovely Sally, so it seems like playing by the rules is the thing to do! 😉
So, ten things that make me happy…in no particular order.
1. Harlequin Presents, reading them, writing them…they make me a very happy person. It’s the honest to goodness truth.
2. My husband. He’s supportive, he cooks, he cleans, he works, he changes diapers, and he’s about the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.
3. My children. They are a lot of work and each one is packed with more personality than most three people have combined, but that’s what makes them SO MUCH FUN. (virgin vulture, anyone??)
4. Starbucks. I’m smiling just imagining a hot grande vanilla with whip latte, oh yes I am. *sigh*
5. Getting paid to do what I love. I got an advance check in the mail today, my second one, and the very idea that someone is paying me to do the thing I love the most is just as mind boggling now as it was two months ago. I can’t even express my general happiness that this is MY JOB. WOW.
6. My Kindle. Instant, booky gratification. I read on it, I make notes on my WIPS on it, it saves me ink, paper, shipping costs, trips to bookstores…Do I need a new book? Pull up the Kindle store while I lie in bed and have the newest Presents in my hands in under sixty seconds, all without getting out of my duckie PJs. Oh yeah, baby.
7. My CPs. They are just about the coolest group of ladies around. My only gripe? We’re all countries apart! We cover a lot of ground: Australia, New Zealand, London, Manchester, Ireland, Washington DC and Oregon. And I would like, more than anything to get together with them and share coffee now and then, as it is, I’m content to have (between the time zones!!) at least one person around 24hrs a day for doubt crow beatings, critique services and just general sisterly support.
8. My parents. Speaking of support systems…my parents live across the street from us and they are always around to cook dinner when I’m too lost in Presents land to do it myself, to hold babies and to entertain toddlers in general. Not only that, they’ve always believed I would be a published writer.
9. My BFF Ellie, who I have known my whole life and who is NOT a writer type, but is actually a very accomplished dressage rider, but who always, always attempts to understand me when I go off on writerly things. We can always be happy for each other (like I was when she got promoted a level and got to get a very nice top hat and tails for her riding!) and like she was for me when I got my contract and she screamed, even though I’m pretty sure she was riding a horse when I called to tell her. We all need a friend like that.
10. My house. When it’s clean. It’s small, it’s old, it’s cheap, but it’s ours. That makes it the best.

Niceness, Maisey. A virtual coffee it will have to be eh? But hey, if you’re ever down in the Southern Hemisphere, we do have Starbucks in Auckland!
Yay! So nice to know I won’t have withdrawals should I ever make it down to NZ! Thought I do love nice little non-chain shops if I can find a good one!
I love that you love your house. I used to adore mine, but it has sadly outgrown my huge clan!!
Yeah, we’re outgrowing our house too. 🙂 It’s just that so many young couples we know have lost their houses because they bought during ‘the bubble’ which was at it’s peak here 5yrs ago when we got married. So, I’m very thankful we got into something affordable, even if it is *quite* modest.
